Happy Halloween everyone!

 

We had a small turnout of 11 tonight.  Although small-- we had a great time.  Unfortunately michele1024 was first to go and we were already at the final table.   Holland13 was out next.   We had a big all in battle next and -ManBearPig- took out Mellow_Yellow and Hazy_Cat.  ManBear had KK, Mellow AK and Hazy QJ.  What in the heck was hazy doin here?? hehe.  ManBear took a pretty good lead after that hand.  Falkor is a close 2nd.  I just took out msrinny by catching a K on the river- she had A7.  Agro and I just split a hand both with K10's.  We both caught the straight on the river, but not the nuts.  Agro moved in and I called-- glad he didn't have Q10!  Pa just got knocked out by Agro with 22 v 99.   I just doubled up and so did agro.  5 left and no one is ready to go.  We've all got 2500 or so in chips except for manbear who has 4500.  Falkor just took a nice pot from newcomer 5oon3r_L33t.   ManBear just took out 5oon with KK vs AJ and we're down to 4.  Manbear has been on fire the last couple weeks... just flopped a flush and takes a pot.  Dadgummit.  It's bubble time.  I'm hoping to outlast Agro for 3rd here.  And I do!  Just doubled up with QQ over ManBears AJ.  Then knocked Agro out with a lucky catch with KJ (J on the river) and he had 88.  Then doh!  I have 1010 and raise.  ManBear calls.  Flop is 645. ManBear bets and I move all in.  Boom!  3 on the turn and I'm gone.   Just four hands later Falkor moves in.  ManBear calls.  Falkor looking good with AQ vs Manbear's A7.  But tonight it was all ManBear.  He hits the 7 on the flop and it's all over.  ManBear was just unstoppable tonight.  No one was beatin' him!

 

 

Great job and thanks for coming out on Halloween to the scary Gary Joker room!!

 

 

 

Well I'm sitting downstairs on the couch watching the World Series on the big screen.   Was initially eating pizza while playing.  It's very hard to chat with pizza and laptop on your lap.   Despite the fact that is was the World Series we had a good turnout of 15.  It's kind of hard to log the hands to because my laptop screen can only show one screen.  Everytime I get to typing the poker table screen pops up.   So it was quick to the final table, and now we're down to 5.  Michele1024 and --ManBearPig-- are on top with 7500.  I just hit a full house to double up over shinydome and I'm in 3rd.  MisterSGB and shinydome (first timer) are holding up the bottom.  Michele just knocked out shinydome and we're down to 4.  One more to the money.  I hate this spot... I double up SGB with my AJ vs his 55 and he hits a straight.  It's not looking good for me now.  Michele takes the lead with 11k.  SGB has pulled into 2nd.  ManBear has quieted a bit and is in 3rd.  I'm hangin on for life.  I luck out with a straight and double up.  SGB just takes the lead with a double up over michele.  I move with A9 - no callers.  Wow- I get QQ and SGB has moved in.  I call and ManBear moves all in too!  SGB folds and ManBear shows JJ!  We're all even in chips now.  What a game now.   A big hand just before the break - SGB hits a Kh flush and michele needed the board to pair.  I needed one heart (I had Ah) but it was too much to call and I folded. SGB double up with the flush when Michele didn't hit the boat.  She's crippled now with 975.  she moves all in after break and I call with A10h.   I take out Michele and then go out myself with 44 to ManBear's QQ.  Quickly then ManBear catches trip 6's on turn to knock out MisterSGB.  --ManBearPig-- wins it!!!

 

Happy Birthday to Michele1024!!!  Thanks for joining us on your birthday.  We're honored!! 

 

Great job to all and lots of fun.

 

Until next week!!

Hey folks! 

I had my parents and an aunt and uncle in town visiting from Texas so I wasn't able to make the Joker room tonight.  However, thanks to AnnieBoom a very successful tourney night!! Thanks boom!!!!  She also provided commentary of the night which is below.  You're the best boom thanks!!! 

A very unusual jokerroom tonight because we were missing our head joker, gjones.  Something about meeting a woman for a wild night, musta been important.  In his absence, blondee and annieboom were in charge.  That meant a theme night (tricks and treats), food (blondee made brownies and rice krispie treats), free drinks on jones (the bill is in the mail) and a treat for everyone (kisses) as they left.  22 players started, but only one could win and in a fast and exciting ending michele1024 did just that, making it her 3rd win in a row!  Congratulations michele, is that a target I see on your head gf????

Final 3 were -manbearpig- @ 3rd (very nice game for a man with a curly tail), xtjbird13x coming in 2nd (seriously thought you were going to win that thing tj, great job!) and michele @ 1st (wtg gf!).

Another fun night with great people.  Oh, and the best kissers of the night:

best kisser:  smurfieeeeeeeeeeeee

juiciest:  hazy (never trust a cat)

longest:  icy, still might be going on in the loser's lounge

funniest:  tj kissing pa    ok we made him

stickiest:  Mister SGB (he had just eaten a rice krispie treat)

sweetest:  miss rinny cuz she is so sweet

kiss with the most tongue:  trip (shocker there)

See you next week....................................:)  blondee and annie

ps jones, you can have your job back.......too much work!  lol

Another fun night in the Joker room.   15 peeps played.  Unfortunately one of our favorite Canadians msrinny was first out. :(  But we always enjoy her playing!  The action was pretty tight.   Down to 5 players we had myself, coachstove, michele1024 (last weeks winner) and Hurquerock.   Michele kept raising my big blinds and everytime showed pairs.  Finally with AQ I took a stand.  michele called and showed 1010. I got lucky and double up catching an A.  I doubled up again later on coachstove when I rivered an A to his 88.   Nobody really had the upper hand.  Hurque had a slight lead but came back to the pack a bit.   Hand 94 coach moves in post flop with middle pair. Unfortunately for coach Lil mem had top pair 10's and caught trips to knock out coach.  We're down to 4, the bubble spot.  I'm low stack and looking not too good.  The others are playing very well.   I double up with KK in hand 107.  Michele takes the lead now.  Can she win two in a row??  I've got to say I've been very impressed with her play the last two weeks.   It seems like she raises my BB every time and I have nothing and have to fold.  Hand 126 and I'm in 2nd close off the heels of michele. Then Hurque and Lil Mem but they aren't far behind.  Hand 132 was big.  michele raises and Hurque calls.  The flop is 732.  michele checks (slow play).  Hurque makes a big bet.  Michele licks her lips and pushes all in.  Hurque calls for pot odds and shows AQ.  Michele shows KK.  Hurque dead right?? Not with UB!  LOL. The turn is a 5 and and the river is a 4 giving Hurque the straight.  That puts Hurque at about 10k in chips.  Everybody's fighting hard and Hurque has dropped a bit at 7400.  Hand 149 Michele raises my BB again!!  Hand 155 Lil Mem pushes with AK.  Michele calls with A6.  Boom!  6 hits on the flop and river and Lil Mem finishes 4th on the bubble.  Great game Lil Mem.  Michele has the lead with 10700, then Hurque at 6815 and me at 4985.  Hand 163 I double up with AQ vs Hurque KQ.  Next hand Hurque doubles up against michele.  Things are moving too fast too up.  I'll update when someone goes out!   Jones knocked out Hurque with a flush and it was heads up.  Hand 212 sealed gjones fate.  I  raised with 88 and michele calls.  Flop is 362. I move in and michele calls.  She has outs.  Boom! She hits the flush and takes a huge lead.  I can't make a come back and michele1024 wins two in a row!! Very nice job michele!!!!

 

Until next week!  Good luck and win big!
